This does not seem to very well fit with the tiling approach of Ion, but in relation to floating windows, Ion does support groups. You may create multiple simultaneously visible groups (also known as workspaces). They key is to not put them on the 'mutually exclusive' or 'unnumbered' list of the screen. This is what the 'unnumbered = true' option of WMPlex.attach[_new] does. The scratchpad, for example, is contained in an 'unnumbered' WGroupWS. IIRC there are some related scripts in the scripts repo [1], but I'm not sure how up-to-date they are, and certainly they could be improved. Of course, if you mean real non-hierarchical tagging of floating windows, instead of grouping, that isn't supported as such. But it is also possible to implement that support as a script, at least to some extent: you don't have to put your 'unnumbered' objects within a group. (Or 'numbered', but then tagging doesn't make sense, because 'numbered' objects are mutually exclusive.) [1]: http://iki.fi/tuomov/repos/ion-scripts-3/ -- Tuomo
